Like you, they'd rather cling to what they want to be true, and use scapegoating, mockery, and circumlocution to make themselves feel better, hiding in groups of like-minded people to draw confidence.
So are you going to address my argument?
I'll make it simple.
If you had to choose from two possibilities behind the resurrection, which one would you choose and why?
1. Jesus was really God, he died for mankind's sins, and was raised again on the third day and then went up to heaven in front of his disciples.
or
2. Jesus was an alien pretending to be God, he pretended to die for man's sins, with advance alien technology was made too look dead, and then created the illusion that he was raised from the dead and then an alien spaceship pulled him up to the sky with a tractor beam.
Which is more reasonable? Why?
